Such a great experience!

My husband and I were married on Anini Beach on 2/14/20. Dale was fabulous and so professional. She was very responsive when we had any questions. We are so pleased with the ceremony. Thank you!

A Perfect Experience

Dale provided my husband and me a a beautiful wedding. I contacted her only 10 days earlier and asked if she could perform a same-sex Jewish ceremony on a beach at sunset and do it on such short notice. She did. We felt completely comfortable with her from the first time we spoke all the way through the ceremony. She was flexible and responsive to all of our requests. The ceremony was joyous, spiritual, personal, deeply meaningful, and fun. We highly recommend Joyful Ceremonies.

Dale made all the plans and chose the most beautiful spot for us to have our wedding. She was so helpful and gave us wonderful instructions on location and procedure, so it took all of the stress of planning out of it. Her approach to the ceremony was beautiful, the words she chose were so fitting, and she made the entire ceremony the most amazing experience we could have had! We are so glad that we chose Dale to be part of our special day!!!

Dale is very knowledgeable and feels like family the first time you meet her. Definitely worth meeting and, if she suits your style, she will be everything you want for your ceremony. She even helped us immensely with our rehearsal dinner, candle lighting and prayers.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
